Business in the Capital: Home

Questions?

Our Mission

The Kogod School of Business established its “Business in the Capital” initiative in 2014 for two reasons: to make an impact on industry and policy in our Washington D.C. metropolitan region and, second, to create even stronger bonds between our business school and local businesses in order to better prepare our students to work in Washington and the world.

HOW WE DO IT:

Our activities are varied: We produce knowledge (reports, papers), we convene industry discussions (especially in collaboration with the Global Cities Initiative and the Greater Washington Board of Trade), we host speakers and panels, often weekly, which are largely free to the public.
